MORSE HELD FOR TRIAL.
CONDUCTOR BARBEE's AssAILANT
IN JAIL.

The Hearing Before Justice Molina
The Story of the Assault-Morse's
Desperate Deed-His Threat Against
the Conductor.
Adam Morse was committed to Jail yes
terday in default of 81 900 bail, to await his
trial for assault with intent to murder
Morse is the keeper of the Savannah Yacht
Club house at Thunderbolt and is the man
who made the assault upon Conductor A.
NJ. Barbee, Jr., of the Coast Line railroad
on Wednesday afternoon.
Morse was arrested the day after the
assault was made and gave bond for his APP
pearance in court. He was given a hearing
yesterday before Justice Molina. James
Crawford and Luke Euger, both colored,
were with Morse when he attacked Barbee,
and Crawford was held. Huger was dis
charged because there was no evidence to
show that he was implicated in the assault.
The hearing occupied nearly the entire
afternoon and dozen or more witnesses
were sworn Conductor Barbee was in
court with his head tied up, and his arm IN
a sling. He went over the story of the
assault His train left the Bolton street
junction at o'clock Wednesday afternoon,
he said. Just before that some children in
the car were making disturbance, and he
told them to be quiet. Soon after
starting he beGAa collecting fares,
Young Morse was kicking straw around
the car and the con suctor spoke to him and
told him to stop. The boy was impudent
and refused to behave. Finally the con-
ductor took hold of him and sat him down.
The boy began to cry and said that If he
told his father it would be bad for the con-
ductor. After l got home | went in to
dinner" Mr.. Barbee continued. while l
was eating there was a knock at the door
and a call for me. I went out
and saw Luke Hugef and Morse. spoke
to Morse, calling him Adam. He said
Don't you call me Adam. Call me Mr..
did not | replied A few more words fol-
lowed. l had just started to go back into
nv house, when Morse raised his
stick and struck at my head.
threw up my arm to ward off the
blow, and the club struck full on my
right hand. Then he hit me again on the
head and knocked me down, and struck me
once or twice more. My wife ran out, and
/ called for pistol / was blind and could
and Morse drew pistol and pointed it at
me, then at my wife, and my driver, and
ran into the house."
Morse claimed that the conductor had
struck his boy, and he meant to have it out
with him. He denied that he had pistol,
and said that all be had when he went to
Barbee's house was a light stick and an
umbrella. Crawford, who lives with Morse
and worked with him at the club house,
went with him to the conductors house.
Huger met the two men on
the road, and they asked him
to go with them and he went not knowing
what they were going for or what they
wanted Some of these witnesses saw the
assault and testified that Morse kicked Bar
bee and then dubbed him. There was some
pretty tough swearing on the part of some
of the witnesses whose testimony was very
conflicting The case was a plain one
against Morse and he was committed for
trial.

THE ORPHANS NEW HOME.

The Episcopal Wards in Their New
Quarters-The Bazar's Receipts.
The receipts of the Orphans Bazaar have
been footed up and they amount to $1,000.
The result was very satisfactory to the
ladies who conducted the fair, for it gave
them the greater part of the money needed
TO complete the Home. The amount needed
was $1,000, but it will not be difficult to
raise the balance within a short time. The
debt of 81, 900 will be easily handled by the
ladies, who are very energetic in laboring
for the orphans.
The children have been moved into the
new building, and everything is running
smoothly now in the new quarters. The
house is well supplied with everything that
is necessary for the accommodation of the
children, and they have what they have
been most anxious TO obtain--plenty of
room. There is some work still to be done
on the building, but only little here ard
there, and it will be finished within a short
time

THEY FAILED TO AGREE.
The Jury in the Flanagan Damage Case
DISCHARGED.

The City Court jury in the case of Annie
Flanagan VS.. the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railway Company, to collect dam
ages for the loss of her husband, who was
killed last April, the jury failed to agree
after remaining out forty-eight hours, and
a mistrial was declared The point upon
which they failed to agree was the amount
of damages TO be assessed. The division
was eight to four, the eight voting TO award
the widow s., 100 damages and the four
thinking 81, 800 enough. After debating for
two days they came to the conclusion that
they could not compromise, and the 5000
difference caused the mistrial.
The case of Asa May VS.. the New York

stoves Of every kind, but especially for our
Bathroom Oil Stoves, that went off at
lively rate. This heater is the best thing
ever gotten up, it fills each and every re-

come almost universally used in heating
rooms of this kind, for it is so vastly supe-
rior and more powerful than the simple re-
fiected heat, that each person who uses it is
